      You did your part by asking about dietary issues. No reply? Go forth and party!

          Well I forgot to take photos of the food (so I guess it didn’t happen 😁

          I think it went well. Mr SK’s okonomiyaki was a huge hit! The fancy wraps were super yummy but the okonomiyaki is pretty filling so we could have gotten by with about half as many wraps. There were also a lot left over veggies and salad … what else did I have too much of? Oh, grapes! I got white and red grapes, they were super yummy but hardly anyone ate them. I had some nice crackers and spinach artichoke dip, everyone loved that.

          Oh and the desserts were popular as well.

          We sent people home with the leftover wraps and desserts, so that was nice. But next time I’ll try to calibrate better.

          I think I also have an idea of how many people can fit in the house, I think the answer is “not too many more than were here today”

            Sounds like a great time!

            But next time I’ll try to calibrate better.

            I think having an abundance of food is the way to go.

            As a guest, I've found there's something awkward about going to a table and thinking there's just enough food to go around and feeling like I have to be really careful about how much to take. Plus it's kind of fun to send people (especially the grad students) home with treats. Sort of extends the party.

            Wishing you many more great parties to come!

              Mr SK said basically the same thing!

              And, today when I turned in my receipts, the admin gal said "wow, you're more than $100 under budget"

              So, it's probably ok to have all those leftovers! 🙂

                    Veggies left over from the tray can be used in soup, or just steamed or stir fried.

                    I can take the desserts off of your hands...

                      😁

                      Actually we sent almost all the leftovers home with people. I love being able to give food to grad students!
